Modelling in The Art Classroom Professional Development
I WANT TO PAY IN
Add to WishlistDescription
Modelling in teaching is a strategy where educators demonstrate a process, skill, or behaviour to guide students in their learning.
(Modelling is the UK spelling. In the US the preferred spelling is ‘Modeling’.)
Understanding how to model effectively in art lessons is an essential skill for teachers. This course was first designed for an in-person training session that I ran at Liverpool Hope University with their trainee art teachers.
Aim: The objective of this training is to empower you with modelling strategies that you can put into action in the classroom tomorrow.
The joy of this course, is that you will learn through the practical activity of making a beautiful folded book which you can see in the trailer.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this training, you will be able to:
- Define modelling in an educational context, with a specific focus on modelling practical art skills and processes.
- Understand the impact of effective modelling on student progress, engagement, and confidence in art lessons.
- Identify and apply a range of modelling strategies, including:
- Thinking aloud/verbalising decision-making
- Demonstrating what not to do
- Using scaffolded steps
- Repeating and revisiting key techniques
- Presenting clear WAGOLLs (What A Good One Looks Like)
- Design and deliver art tasks (e.g. the folded book activity) that incorporate intentional and inclusive modelling techniques.
- Reflect on current teaching practice and identify opportunities to embed more effective modelling in everyday art lessons.
Once you have watched the professional development, you will be able to download a certificate that includes your name, the name of the course, and the duration. Although the video is 43 minutes long, the duration of the course is 3 hours to allow you time to complete the tasks within and consider how you will integrate what you have learnt into your teaching.
Materials Required: Please print the downloads that come with this training. The ‘cover’ document needs to be printed on tracing paper. You will also need: Coloured pencils, paper (I use an A3 piece which is approximately 11 x 16 inches however, the size is flexible) a large plastic bag or bin bag, watercolour and brushes, a glue stick. Optional: Coloured biros. I use leaf skeleton which you could buy, but I also provide scans of leaf skeletons for you to use. Consider printing the leaf skeletons onto tracing paper. In the video I show that you could use an alphabet stamp set, although I don’t use it myself.
